From a Tropical Skyline to a Monochromatic Alleyway

By Amber Cole

Photography

Issue 8, Spring 2021

A red, blending with orange sky background. In the foreground are the tops of two palm trees silhouetted against the colorful sky. — Tropical Desert

The image shows a section of a quaint two-story building. The black and white photo is centered on a second story window with a striped awning. The wall all around the window is a dark red, contrasting with the black and white. — Seeing Red

The image is a black and white photo of a multiple story building under construction. Scaffolding covers most of the building. The dark shadowing of the windows and scaffolding makes for an appealing contrast with the white, or colorless, walls of the building. — Monochrome Mindset 1

A black and white photo showing part of what looks like an alley with a brick entryway. The perspective of the picture is looking up through the entryway at the bottom of a fire escape staircase. The different shades of black and grey make for an appealing contrast with the white light coming through the stairs. — Monochrome Mindset 2
